Do information-science students spend most of their time programming?
Not necessarily. Programming does not always take up most of an information-science student's time. Alongside programming classes and practical exercises, students may study mathematics and statistics, information theory, networks, databases, and other specialized subjects, and complete experiments, reports, and graduation research. The emphasis on programming varies by university, faculty, specialization, year of study, course choices, and individual assignments.
Key points
- Programming is an important part of the curriculum, but it does not always make up most study time.
- Students may also study mathematics, statistics, specialized subjects, and complete experiments, reports, and graduation research.
- Time spent on programming varies with the curriculum and a student's course load.
Things to check
- For the specific course structure and workload, check the official curriculum of the university and faculty you are considering.
